Sunday School
**CURRENTLY POSTPONED DUE TO COVID**

The younger children’s classes use a curriculum called Godly Play.  The teachers and children prayerfully and playfully explore parables, sacred stories, the sacraments, prayer and liturgy.

The older children’s class thoughtfully and creatively explore our faith through the use of a 3 year spiral curriculum called “Finding God."  They also participate in service projects throughout the year, as a hands-on way of living out their faith.

Note for First Grade Students:  All First Grade students who do not attend a Catholic School, and are planning to participate in First Communion in the Second Grade, are required by the Archdiocese to attend Sunday School Faith Formation classes during the First Grade.
